You don't convert. The prime eat anything as long as you use a third party player like mxplayer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
Yup. This is one of the things that makes me happiest about moving from my iPad to an Android tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lcuk:
You don't need to convert anything. You can play avi, mkv, wmv with a third party app.

I heard that Dice player is good. In my phone I used Mobo player or Mxvideo player.

thanks :) all

Missing Video Conversion

The conversion I'd like to understand is .wtv to playable on Android.

We've got quite a few computers in this household running Windows Media Center. They record OTA HD TV on a house server in .wtv (MSFT proprietary) format. But none of the players I've tried play .wtv out of box, yet.

And when the Win 8 slates appear, they WILL interoperate with .wtv and be harder to dislodge. So this would be a good time to source .wtv format files in a DLNA scheme.

I'm having issues playing WMV or M4V from BluRay digital copies.

Is there something that will play these types of files? MX Player does not work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mbieler:
I don't have a wmv or m4v file at hand but you could try dice player. It's my favorite so far.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.inisoft.mediaplayer.trial

in the specs it states that it can run wmv and m4v
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] compuw22c:
dude don't mess with that drm garbage. Even if it would work don't reward bad behavior (drm). My mom now hates drm because she mistakenly bought a couple movies on iTunes and now her reward for not bittorrenting it is they're now worthless to her in her tf101 (or any Android device). Just use tpb for what you need. Besides they can recommpress or remove drm in the time it takes you to poop. They're pros :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
These are heavily DRMed. If you did not get a Digital Copy version that is compatible with Android then you are screwed. The WMV is a heavily DRMed Windows file, and the M4V is for iTunes. Only a few BluRays were released that had an Android version too.

Honestly, if you have a BluRay player in your PC is easier to rip it to another format. Otherwise, you have to breach the DRM and convert it to a non-DRM version.

I hate the digital copy stuff, but the Ultraviolet stuff is kinda neat. At least you can use the Flixster (Movies) app to view them streaming on Android. However, only a few use it and its still a DRM nightmare.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TheKricket:
Tell me about it! It's like I'm getting punished for "doing the right thing".

To be honest - I got the Back to the Future BR trilogy (I'm one of those huge nerdy fans) and thought: "Sweet, as a bonus - I'll get to play this back anywhere!" So I loaded up the M4V into iTunes (which works just fine with my Apple TV).

But I tried getting the movies on my tablet - where they really count (especially during travel) - and nothing.

It really is hard to "be good" when you pay for a product and then have to jump through hoops and over hurdles (wasting hours of your own time) to make use of something you OWN.

I can open up any BT client and get the full HD-BR rips in FAR less time than it'll take me to figure out how to get my rightfully purchased copies onto a media player (that I also own).

Thanks for the tips everyone!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] foboi1122:
How do you guys put files larger than 4GB on ur prime/SD card? Split the file?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
The 4 GB limit is a FAT32 filesize limit. Only the SDCARD is FAT32 so this is should not true of the internal storage. If you download the file on your prime and store it on the internal storage it should work fine. If you need to put in on your SDCARD than you would need to split them or compress them to be under 4GB since it would be FAT32. Or you can store it some where else and stream it (if were are talking videos and on topic).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
Try DVD Catalyst.

I use that to convert MY DVD's to work on my Nook Color. I have not looked if there is a preset for the Transformer Prime yet but I did copy some movies that I converted for the Nook to my TP and they look great.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dajackal9999:
Try EXTFAT

I formatted my external sdcard as extfat in Windows 7 and have a 7.50 gb blueray movie on it which plays flawlessly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] max1001:
I know everyone keep giving high praise to MX Player but it has fail to HW decode all of my various MKV files. As for file size limitation, ATP can read NTFS just fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Andreas527:
Prime have no problem with files larger than 4gb. Works good on the internal storage. And if you have a sdcard you format it to NTFS.

I have format my microsd to NTFS and played a 8gb mkv movie without problems

Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] foboi1122:
Sweet, I wasn't sure if the transformer support NTSF since its a windows format. so what's the difference between exfat and NTSF?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] compuw22c:
I agree, mx sucks, use bs player, everything is hardware accelerated.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jfortier777:
I havent had any problems with MX.

It plays every MKV I throw at it, even those with heavily animated subtitles.

Full disclosure: They were all 720p, perhaps the HW v. SW decoding doesn't become seriously relevant until 1080?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arun01:
OK so this is where I'm lost at.Prime can play 1080p clips off YouTube with no problem but can't properly play a 1080p .mts file from my Canon camcorder. I even renamed it to a mp4.Then it was able to see but couldn't play it properly. I used mx player & BS player,tried dice player too.So I used handbrake & converted it down some (file size) & it was able to play it then.So is it a limit to a 1080p file it can play or is it just better to play 720p?:confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
I think you just got unlucky with the format your camera uses.

My panasonic does something weird with its mts files too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xXxDieselxXx:
Try BS Player I like better than MX Player.

https://market.android.com/details?...DEsImNvbS5ic3BsYXllci5ic3BhbmRyb2lkLmZyZWUiXQ..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arun01:
So you're able to play your 1080p .mts files from your Panasonic on the prime?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ajamils:
Unfortunately not :(. I was hoping that it plays videos from my GH2 but I think AVCHD is too much for it to handle.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arun01:
ok no problem I use handbrake to lower the file size of my 1080p .mts files.You should give it a try.There is no visible loss in video quality at all.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ins0mniacs:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
You don't have to "convert" (re-encode) MTS to MKV. You can just remux the files in a few seconds.

Use tsMuxer to demux the A/V tracks. For Canon Vixia output, there's only the AVC video and AC3 audio. Then use MKVToolnix to remux the component tracks back to MKV. It's all drag-drop.

You'd need to note fps info from tsMuxeR, and re-input that info into MKVToolnix.

The developer and I had worked on getting DVD Catalyst working with the HD2 when the HD2 first came out. If you all rememeber, the first snapdragon processors had an issue with decoding audio/video and would cause a lipsyncing effect...(can we say B rated Chinese movies anyone?)

He and I communicated quite frequently and we got it set so it worked out. Since then I've been using DVD catalyst solely for my "backup" copy of my collection. The presets are there in v4.01 for the prime...which is awesome.

My problem with mobi or any other player than the stock..(ew ...i know) is that there is noticeable color degradation on other players...which could be my noobness..but it seems like the effect of a "theater" copied movie....granted i haven't messed with any settings on any 3rd party players mainly cuz i have to reboot my tablet(Factory reset) 2-4 times a day now due to unresponsive/dead zones on the screen.

No, I am not payed by DVD Catalyst..just like his product. It's easy..has a noob type interface for people who don't know much...or they have a technical/advanced if you want to control almost as much as handbrake.

[General Questions and Answers] nc rider:
Hi,

I am new to the Atrix, but have a background in software development and was a sys admin on unix for a number of years.

I would like to know if, after a phone is rooted, do all apps run as root? or does routing simple install a setuid "su", and root apps call that when they need root access?

The webtop2sd post looks very complete and also something I will try soon. Do I need to unlock the bootloader to run a modified webtop from my sd card?

I would like to keep my phone as stock as possible, but enable a hacked webtop on the sd card.

Also there are 1000's of root threads, what is the safest canonical method (that can easily be undone)?

Many thanks and sorry for asking for your time. I have not found these answers around, but then again, there is a great amount of mis-information out there.

thx,

Scott.
[General Questions and Answers] mhwarfield:
Don't take this as "authoritative" but I don't believe they do, for 2 reasons.

1) If all the apps were running as root, we wouldn't run into permissions problems and have to run "Fix Permissions" to fix the resulting FC's. But we do.

2) If all the apps were running as root, none of them would need "su" to gain superuser permission but I still get that for certain root apps (Samba, Titanium Back, Rom Manager, etc, etc, etc).

Could be somewhat kernel related as well. We had to get a custom kernel modified for it to boot so we might need a different one to get it fully functional
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Well that too, but that was more of the electronics part of the camera when it actually takes the picture and then tries to store it in flash memory; I'm sure the kernel will need more tweaking, and since they used the tiamat kernel, I'm happy. :p

My provider is Movistar Argentina and the toll free number is *611. I called there on my D3 XT862 and suddenly I got a "Welcome to Verizon's roaming call center" or something like that. So there goes 4 dollars on a freaking international phone call I did not ask for.

Any idea why this is happening? Do I have to change something in build.prop?

I used to have this issue with my Droid2 Global. It is a radio (baseband) issue. You can't control call forwarding or use USSD codes for the same reason. Maybe the radio from XT883 will work fine? Give it a try. Verizon made that all with one purpose... use the phone with their service only.

This is exactly why now I use XT860 and not Verizon's XT862

But as I said, flashing XT883 radio will likely solve all these problems (and will also allow you to use the phone on GSM in the States)

Possible Resolution to battery Drain Issue

I called Samsung Support and they helped me to change the wifi sleep policy from "never" to "when screen turns off". This resulted in using up less than 10% of my battery last night from 11PM to 7AM.

Action Taken:

1. Settings

2. Wireless and Network

3. Wifi Settings

4. Click Menu Button (next to Home Button) and Select Advanced

5. Select Wi-Fi sleep policy

6. Change it from "Never" to either "Never when plugged in" or "When Screen turns off".

7. One person reported success rebooting their phone after making these changes. For me I did not have to reboot.

I also thought that this may increase my hspa+ data usage, but it was hardly noticeable last night.

This is probably a result of having Jakebites mod on the phone.

There's an toggle in the modcentral script to ALWAYS boot to CWR on reboot, at which point you select "reboot" from the recovery menu and it loads as normal. It's intentional, in case you end up flashing something that screws up your boot process and need to restore a nandroid
